 In the distribution, the includes are in a directory:
 [package_name.INCLUDE]
 and the source is in [package_name.SRC]
 I am hoping not to have to edit all of the sources to change the #include "..."s.

$ create/dir dka100:[my_package_name.include]
$ edit/edt dka100:[my_package_name.include]include_file.h
$ dir dka100:[my_package_name.include]
Directory DKA100:[my_package_name.include]
INCLUDE_FILE.H;1
Total of 1 file.
$ define package_name [my_package_name.include]
$ show def
dka100:[devel.testincl]
$ type dka100:[devel.testincl]test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "package_name/include_file.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     printf("this is a test: %s.\n", testresult);
}
$ cc test.c
